A 74-year-old CS:GO player recently made a lot of rounds on social media channels. Although she was kicked out of the game by her team, fans raised great support for this Counter-Strike player. More than her gaming skills, this player stunned the Counter-Strike community by showing how age is just a number. 

Those who passionately follow video games know that for Counter-Strike players, age never mattered anyway. For example, CS:GO veteran DieHardBirdie attended and won a Senior League Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 2019 Championship at the age of 78. The tournament’s youngest player was 64 at that time. This didn’t change for the gamer grandma who just won a lot of hearts with her CS:GO passion.
